On my recently purchased TT, the previous owner created a Plexiglas door to replace the screen. It looks like he used rivets so the Plexiglas is not easily removable. It is getting really dirty in there. Did you make yours easily removable? If not, how do you keep the inside clean?
Well, never mind. I reread your post and saw how you keep yours clean. I might need to make some changes to my door.
Hey, at least this thread got bumped back up to the top. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin")

How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire? ">
Happy Camping,

I know it's not really much of a mod, but in lieu of putting on an additional plastic pipe for a sewer hose holder, I "de-rusted" my bumper by spraying the inside of it with the Rustoleum product that turns the rust into metal. I then painted the interior with rust preventing paint and voila - no more rusty sewer hose (at least for now). Time will tell if I need to go to a pvc style solution.
Working on another one and hope to have pics of it soon.

I converted mine to disc brakes.
My custom disc brakes
I put 4 toggle bolts with machine screw eyes in the back of the cubbyhole area where the TV/VCR/DVD sits. I use bungee cords to keep the equipment in place while traveling.
I made some panels from 2x4s and particleboard to span the bunk. Now 2 kids can sleep up there without worrying about anything breaking.
I put in a vertical mounted paper towel holder, just like I did at home, easier to use and saves space.
Id like to build the microwave into the cabinet. It already fits like a glove through the cabinet door.
Id also like to build a bike rack to attach to the back frame.

mud flap (waste hookup is behind the tires)
sensors on bunkhouse exterior doors, alarm in front bedroom
plug strips
night lights
reflective sun shade for shower skylight

Nice mods, Where did you get to "Bracket" to mount the TV in the corner ? Maybe I'll mount one in my Travel trailer bedroom like you did.
Thanks,
Sunline1
Just found it at the local Appliance Store. I think almost any place that will sell appliances, i.e....TV's, Flat Screens...ETC will have them.
Make sure you buy one that has a way to lock it in place, that way when you're traveling, you can lock it. Mine didnt have this, but I have seen other mounts that have them, and I wish I would have bought that one.

I don't think I have a picture fully loaded. I'll have to take one. Here is a pic with the kayaks and one bike.
![[image]](http://niceley.com/camping/kayak1.jpg)
There are usually 2 bikes on one side and 2 + a kids bike on the other. It is fun to load and unload ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") Everything is on three 78" Thule load bars with appropriate bike & kayak racks and a couple of sections of unistrut for me to walk on so I don't mash the roof.
